Spray-On Staining System for Fiberglass & Vinyl
A practical JIT method (2 steps only) of producing an attractive wood look will not only reduce inventories but it can expand the potential choice offered to the consumer.
Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations when Selecting a Coating
N-methyl pyrrolidone (CAS-no. 872-50-4) is one substance of specific concern. See attached article citing the dangers associated with this substance. See attached also California Prop 65 – note: recommended exposure 32 mg per day. A typical coating for vinyl might contain 5-15% by weight of this ingredient, this can be determined by looking at section 3 Hazardous Ingredients of the SDS sheet. An approximate weight of a typical gallon of coating is around 4,000 grams. Therefore as an example , at 10% this amounts to 400 grams, approx 12,000 times that recommended above in a single gallon.
If a paint shop sprays 5 gallons per day, this amount to 60,000 times the suggested exposure.
Starting in August 2011, the global harmonized reporting requires that the SDS sheet must publish the fact that an ingredient is found on any hazardous ingredient list, this is in section 15 of the SDS sheet under Regulatory Information. Section 11 typically has more on the health effects of a given substance such as NMP.
The fact that SDS sheets should be posted in a paint shop, these hazards will be available for all exposed employees to review.
Contains no NMP
Another major consideration in selecting a coating is the VOC content. This can typically be found in Section 9, Physical and Chemical Properties. VOC’s are often measured in grams per liter. D200 has less than 30 grams per liter, a fraction of most other industrial coatings which normally contain more than 150 grams per liter. VOC’s are being increasingly regulated, so minimizing the pounds per day emitted makes not only environmental sense, it will ensure that you stay below any daily allowance.
NOTE: Just because a coating is presented as “Water Based” does not ensure that it is Low VOC or doesn’t contain any hazardous ingredients.
